Harley asked herself while perusing uninspired ties. "This place doesn't have it, that's for damn sure."<br /><br />She was almost at her car when her phone emitted his ringtone. Harley answered on the second ring.<br /><br />"Heya, Puddin', how ya doin'?" she asked while she got into the driver's seat.<br /><br />"Where are you?" was the only reply she got. Typical.<br /><br />"Mr. J, Christmas is coming," she said. "I'm shoppin'."<br /><br />"If you want to get me something for that stupid holiday, bring me a bat," he snapped. "Meanwhile, get your ass back here. I didn't give you permission to leave."<br /><br />"Yes, puddin'," Harley muttered. He never gave her permission to leave. That was what made shopping for him so hard.<br /><br />***<br />"I got ya something I think you're gonna' love, Puddin'," Harley chirped weeks later. "A real treasure."<br /><br />"How many times do I have to tell you that I only want the Bat," Joker snarled. "Unless you got me the Bat, I have no interest, you stupid girl."<br /><br />"I didn't get you the Bat," she said, playing at being crestfallen. Then she hit the light switch and let him see her captive. "But I did get you A bat," she finished.<br /><br />Batgirl struggled against the bonds that held her to Harley's bed. The woman was naked, tied, and gagged. Her eyes filled with horrified understanding when they took in Joker and Harley.<br /><br />"Merry Christmas, baby," Harley half-sang.<br /><br />"She's not dead," he observed in a bored voice.<br /><br />"No," Harley agreed. She stripped off her clothes on the way to her bed, grinning maniacally at Batgirl. "But she'll wish she was by the time I'm done with her. Have a seat and enjoy the show, Puddin'."<br /><br />Joker chuckled and did as his girl asked. He kept chuckling as sounds of horror turned to sounds of horror mixed with strangled pleasure.<br /><br />"Best Christmas present, yet, baby," he said, but only when he knew she couldn't hear it for the noise her bedmate was making.Erin287https://www.blogger.com/profile/08696123289228311440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128469884487763839.post-29337642294177752242016-10-07T19:28:58.323-07:002016-10-07T19:28:58.323-07:00“Do you miss me?” she asked me tonight.
"Of ...“Do you miss me?” she asked me tonight.<br /><br />"Of course I miss you. How could I not?” I said.<br /><br />“How much do you miss me?” she asked in that way women ask questions they wrap around emotion-tripped IEDs. They’ll look at you with an expression of expectation that your answer will bring the sensitive revelation they crave from you. Guys seek yes or no. Black or white. Click or boom. Maybe with a spot of gray-scale adjectival variance for comparison purposes only.<br /><br />I sighed and said, "I miss you more than I ever thought this man could miss another, with more tears than any ocean could hold, with the lonesome chill of a blanketless night on a new moon prairie.”<br /><br />“Then smile,” she said. “C’mere, I’m still here.”<br /><br />I opened my eyes and scanned the room, reached for her empty pillow beside me, pressing my hand to it, warming and denting it as if her head still did.<br /><br />I rested my face upon the momentary warmth and inhaled the vague aroma of her still left to me. <br /><br />“Yes you are,” I said, and went back to sleep.Joseph Heschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217169295029029233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128469884487763839.post-71531652245111890172016-10-07T18:49:12.106-07:002016-10-07T18:49:12.106-07:00It's like you're describing testosterone. ...It's like you're describing testosterone.
